It's so quiet...
I don't remember a weekend ever being this quiet on here, save for when they first started this site. Maybe that's a very good sign. :)

Gabe, you don't like ladybugs?! They're like, the most awesome, gentle bugs, ever! LOL!
Regular lady bugs, sure, but not these. These are an invasive species, and they bite. Not very hard, and they can only bite really soft skin, like on your neck or the back of your arm, but they're annoying, nonetheless, and I have a nest in one of my walls. If I could figure out where they were coming in I could take care of it, but I have yet to be able to find it.
If it was one or two once in a while it'd be one thing. I'm getting upwards of fifty a day... in March. SMH.
The exterminator needs to be called this year.
😂😂😂
I never knew ladybugs could bite! We get tons of them in the house every year, but they don't bother me.
Twice a year (fall and spring) they swarm.
The flies, on the other hand, drive me nuts. Hasn't been as bad since the horses left next door.

Ask Gabe to supply you with ladybirds -- he's a dealer. LOL
- Lol, when they are big enough to eat ladybirds, I'll have Gabe send me some of his stock😂😂😂
Gabe, I promise to post pics if they get large enough, lol. Every single one died within hours of hatching, except two.
They are cool, though. We usually have hundreds of nymphs in our field. Here's a closeup of one. You can see the upside down M shape (in the white) at the top of its head. That's how you can tell that it's an Asian Ladybug. This one pictured doesn't have any spots on its back, but most of them do.
That's a great pic, Gabe. I think I have the same type of beetle.

These ARE actually the ones I get every winter -- they come in, congragate in corners, and slowly die off, though I guess some go out in the spring.
